Over-hyped Brock Lesnar was finally exposed after just barely beating mechanic and previously caught steroid user Shane Carwin. Cain Velasquez beat Brock tonight in a fight very similar to the Carwin fight with the only difference being the referee stopped the fight this time. With Alistair Overeem and Fedor Emelianenko not in the UFC I have to think the heavyweight division just isn't up to snuff in the UFC. Cain is solid and looking like a future heavyweight star but heavyweight talent just isn't in the UFC at the moment. However, I do think Junior Dos Santos and Velasquez can eventually be the top heavyweights in the world. The post Brock era can be truly good (not just a bunch of over hyped box office stars).
I think Brock will be back but probably never win the title again. Potentially a rematch with Frank Mir or Shane Carwin. Brock was humble in defeat and understood that he wasn't at the same level as Cain. Brock was strong at the start coming out with aggression and trying to take the fight to the ground, however, Cain was able to control where the fight played out and eventually got the TKO stoppage.
